Warrior Dash in Lake Elsinore April 10 & 11

It’s more than a race, it’s Warrior Dash. On April 10 and 11, fearless runners will be heading to the course next to the Lake Elsinore Storm Baseball Stadium to take on eleven intense obstacles over five kilometers of extreme terrain.

Warrior Dash will have participants jumping through fire, crawling through mud pits, climbing over vehicles and working their way through nine additional grueling obstacles. After conquering the course, racers will be greeted with live music, a beer garden featuring beer from Pyramid Breweries, and crowned with a furry warrior helmet.

Warrior Dash is partnered with many local charities and organizations including the American Red Cross, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Operation Safehouse, the 100 Mile Club, Animal Friends of the Valley and more.

Race Director Alex Yount says, "Warrior Dash is a crazy day filled with a combination of competition and camaraderie. Warriors can come out and experience the thrill and excitement of the course, and leave with the ultimate bragging rights!”

The first wave of the race will begin at 11 a.m., followed by waves of 500 racers taking off to battle the course every half hour until the last group at 5 p.m. A loud burst of fireworks will signify the start of each wave, followed by a fireworks show at the awards ceremony after the completion of the last wave.

The warriors will also enjoy turkey legs and fun activities, including tug-o-war and knife throwing lessons. Live music will be playing throughout the day and spectators are welcome to come out free of charge, watch the warriors tackle the obstacles near the finish line and participate in the other activities on site.

Warrior Dash is the ultimate event for thrill-seeking athletes. This national racing series is held on the most demanding and unique terrain the U.S. has to offer. Participants will take on intense obstacles and celebrate their feat with music, beer and muddy shorts. For more information or to register online, go to www.warriordash.com.
